According to a recent study, highschoolers are using their cellphones in classrooms as cheating devices by text-messaging one another answers to test questions. Only about half of those polled think that cheating in this way should be considered a “serious offense.” Assistant Professor of Curriculum & Teaching in BU’s School of Education Scott Seider can discuss the study’s findings and other issues surrounding teenage morality.
